When he became aware there was something wrong with Mictlan, he went to see the Hermit to find out if he knew the problem. The Hermit used a voodoopuppet to communicate, which contained a metabomb.

He was presumably completely destroyed when the Fendahl Predator devoured the home of the Celestis. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5)
